googling a bit more shows that the /proc filesystem is available on Solaris and there is also the pfiles command.

It's been a long time since I worked on Solaris but there might even be a way to do it with dtrace. There was a link for doing something similar using lsof but that required a bit more work.

Have an external that uses "sar" to figure out the number of open file handles. It has stanzas for Linux and HPUX; if your Solaris box has sar then should be able to add a Solaris stanza.
Basically uses "sar -v 5 2" and processes the last line; 3rd field for linux, 8th field for hpux.
If you want the external, can send it to you off list. It may be malingering as a Big-Brother module on the Dell/Quest/Big-Brother/defunct-deadcat repository. You may also find other modules there that can be modified for your requirements.

Sorry, it will be most likely used under Solaris 10/11.

Hi, is there a way to monitor file handle usage - how many open files against the maximum allowed, by any chance? - just had a request from a user for this and couldn't find a reference in the documentation or the Google thing.

Nick
